We want to be a message of hope to that person. And I found you people and you told your story and I could relate to your story, and you seemed to be happy, you seemed to be well-adjusted, you seemed to be comfortable with your sobriety, and so if you could do it, then maybe I could do it.
Ever wondered how the support of a community can change a life? In this episode of the Recovered Podcast, host Mark S. sits down with Ted from Rochester to explore his transformative journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Ted opens up about his early days seeking hope and connection, sharing how the stories of others who had found sobriety inspired him to believe he could do the same.
'You seemed happy and well-adjusted,' Ted recalls, highlighting the comfort he found in AA's supportive environment. Together, Mark and Ted discuss the vital role of service work in recovery. Ted passionately describes how helping newcomers has not only strengthened his own sobriety but also created a sense of purpose. 'It's all about giving a hand to someone in need,' he says.
The conversation also touches on the hurdles of staying sober in social and professional settings, especially in industries where drinking is commonplace. Ted offers practical advice for navigating these challenges, drawing from his own experiences. He reflects on how AA has positively impacted his personal and professional life, including the joy of seeing his granddaughter celebrate five years of sobriety.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the power of community support, service work, and finding a higher power in overcoming addiction. Ted's story is a testament to the incredible transformations that can happen when people come together to support each other on their sobriety journeys.
